Congratulations! You've made it to Saturday! *throws a little party*
Mine's been busy so far. We're just a couple weeks out from Gen Con, and that means about a million little things to get done (along with a couple big things) before heading to the show. My "To Do" list is imposing, but with steady work, I'll chew through it all.
*looks at list* Hmm, "Type up Review Roundup."
Alrighty...

Today we have: Sugi, Stak Bots, Food Fighters, Infinity Combined Army Onyx Force, Galaxy Defenders: Operation Strikeback Expansion, SET, Dragonwood, Millennium Blades, Beyond Baker Street, Dark Dealings, America, Fate of the Elder Gods, Burano, Happy Party, and My Village.

I, as I mentioned in my post yesterday, am more-than-likely playing 2nd edition D&D when this will be posted to the site.
Some friends I know have a long-running campaign and the DM is writing me in as an occasionally-recurring NPC. Not sure what my character will be (at time of typing), but it should be a good time.

Anyway, that's as may be. Right now, it's time for some game reviews.

In this batch, we have reviews/previews of: Boss Monster 2, Dark City 30 Corner Apartment Building and Gargoyles, Golem Arcana, The Great War, Apotheca, Lord of the Rings board game, Hocus, Paradox, Kaleidoscope, Infinity, Penny Press, Argonauts, Argent: The Consortium, and Star Wars Armada.

Level 99 Games takes a humorous look at the culture of CCGs with their new board game, Millennium Blades, that's up on Kickstarter now. The game focus on a group of friends that play Millennium Blades, a fictional CCG in their world that has been around for thousands of years. Players take on the persona of players of this fictional CCG on pre-release night for a new expansion. You start out with just a standard starter deck. Then you buy packs and trade cards, selling off the ones you don't want in order to get new packs and build the ultimate deck.
The campaign is more than 1.5x funded with still 16 days to go.

Level 99 Games is running a Kickstarter campaign for their new Pixel Tactics Deluxe box set. For those that don't know, Pixel Tactics is a card game that brings the feel of old, 8-bit RPG games to the tabletop.

The box comes with two starter decks, a play mat, rulebook, and all the tokens required to play. The box it comes in is big enough to hold all that, plus several expansions worth of cards (sleeved or not).

The campaign was looking to get $30k. They're close to $100k (if not having broken that already, by time of posting). There's still 25 days left on the clock to check it out if you're interested.

Board Game Quest took a look at Pixel Tactics 3 from Level 99 Games and gives you their thoughts on the subject.

From the article:

Tony has been selfishly reviewing the excellent Pixel Tactic game series for Board Game Quest for almost a year now. He has previously reviewed both Pixel Tactics (PT1) (which I would recommend reading if you have not previously read the review), as well as the newer Pixel Tactics 2 (PT2).

I have taken the responsibility of reviewing Pixel Tactics 3, the newest offering in the Pixel Tactics universe, away from Tony. I know, I know, it is a tough job…well, actually, in no way is it a tough job. I quite enjoy doing reviews, and I, similar to Tony, quite enjoyed both PT1 and PT2. I felt it was time another reviewer at Board Game Quest stepped up and provide his thoughts on Pixel Tactics. So how is Pixel Tactics 3? Read on to find out!

Pixel Tactics 3 is a (primarily) two player tactical card battling game that plays in about 20 minutes (or up to 60 minutes if you play best out of three).

Board Game Quest sat down with Brad Talton Jr. of Level 99 Games and had a little chat. Go see what they talked about.

From the interview:

A little while ago I had a chance to pick the brain of game designer and publisher Brad Talton Jr. Brad is the founder and publisher of Level 99 Games, a game company that has been putting out many quality game releases lately. In addition to running Level 99 Games, Brad is also a game designer. Some of his more notable titles include: BattleCON, Mystic Empyrean, and Pixel Tactics (which we recently reviewed). I had a few minutes to ask Brad some questions about being a publisher, a game designer and running campaigns on Kickstarter. I hope you enjoy this bit of insight into Level 99 Games.

Board Game Quest has posted up another of their game reviews. This one's for Pixel Tactics.

From the review:

Pixel Tactics, from Level 99 Games, was originally introduced in their Mini Game Library back in 2012. This game turned out to be a surprise hit for them and recently they have broken out Pixel Tactics into it’s own product line (with expansions). Is this highly tactical game worthy of its solo breakout? Read on to find out!

Pixel Tactics is a Tactical Placement and Hand Management card game for 2 players. Pixel Tactics can be played in about 30-45 minutes.
